Dulce de Zapallo

Pumpkins originated in the Americas, in North, Central and South America. It is therefore not surprising that pumpkin dishes can be found all over the continent.

Marmalade made from pumpkin is widespread in South America. You can find this jam from Uruguay to Ecuador. The Ecuadorian recipe I found in my hostess’s cookbook is unfortunately made with milk, which you can’t tell from the final product. Therefore, if in doubt, ask in South America.
